Focus of the Month

Living in Boulder and Denver, we are incredibly lucky. We have homes to sleep in every night, food on our plate at every meal, and are surrounded by one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth. However, because these things are the norm, it’s easy to forget how much we actually have. Take a few minutes a day to think about how many opportunities you’ve had simply because of where you were born.

Thoughts

You get there by realizing you are already there. The growth mindset teaches us to think that the problem has already been solved…you just haven’t gotten to that point in time yet. Yet is the operative word. If you can’t do something, or haven’t done something, then you just can’t do it yet! You haven’t done it…yet! Don’t forget this and you’ll never come up short.
